Evangelical Christian Publishers Assocation, Gold Medallion award for Biography/Autobiography(1979) Christianity Today "From one of the best-known evangelical biblical scholars comes yet another excellent volume for our learning. . . This is a book that will be read with profit by all who have an interest in the primitive church--from the armchair student of the Bible to the most advanced biblical scholar. This will certainly remain a standard text for years to come." Restoration Quarterly "This work shows depth of study, a familiarity with the important bibliographical material and a fairness in approach, and it provides a wealth of materials not only on Paul and his letters but also on the world of the apostle. . . A valuable addition to any Bible student's library." Restoration Review "You are not likely to find anything better on the life and letters of the great apostle. Extravagantly informative. A veritable gold mine of information on Paul, the New Testament, and the early church." The Christian Century "F. F. Bruce offers in this illustrated book an exposition of all the primary themes in Paul's thought as these developed in the historical context of his life and travels. A remarkably even and coherent work, Bruce's portrait of Paul is convincing from every vantage point--historical, theological, psychological, personal. . . A balanced and attractive book." Theology Today "This study can without doubt be labelled F. F. Bruce's magnum opus. . . It is so rich in acute observation and historical detail that few readers will fail to profit from it."
